That is an entirely different issue. Even an inline script will error
if it tries to change the DOM before it is ready. The fact remains
that it is possible to include external javascript files with the
script tag.

Script tags are not subject to the same origin policy.

Sounds reasonable.

Though it is not specifically documented how to load external scripts,
gadgets.io.getProxyUrl works for any valid URL. You can document.write
a script tag with the URL that getProxyUrl returns.
<script type="text/javascript">
var proxyUrl = gadgets.io.getProxyUrl("url to your js file");
document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src="' +proxyUrl+ '"><\/
script>");
</script>
Code not tested.

Not sure what you mean by the origin of the content.

Faster and more secure to use document.write.
